Persec should drop now the right item

SOFTUPDATES are changes that don't require an update through the launcher or a server shutdown. SOFTUPDATES are applied to your local client while you play the game.

Sun, 03 Sep 2017 12:45:21 GMTAlong with the recent set of patches, one of which included our new ability to designate certain sectors of the game world as "always-on", improvements have also been made around stability and maintenance requirements.

We have now removed the daily automated server reboot of Titan and replaced this with a single reboot on Tuesday morning European time.

If you notice any adverse effects of this change, please make us aware by posting here.

A new server feature was implemented that allows us to set a specific gameserver to "AlwaysOn". The server was shutting down after 60s when the last player left the sector to save resources. With "AlwaysOn" we avoid the shutdown so NPCs, vehicles etc are not getting "frozen" until a player joins the sector again.
